Doctor x Oc chapter 6: Old friends

The guards led us to the big hall. Martha often looked at me with a sometimes concerned look and sometimes with a reproachful glare. I thought she kind of couldn't decide if she should be angry or afraid. I, for my part, was really exited. Yes, I think exited. This was the first time a Time Lord would meet the King of Yerfillag. It was an enormous privilege to get an audience, despite the fact that I should get killed. This definitely wasn't as planed. Well, I never really had a plan to begin with. But I never expected them to catch us this fast and I never thought they would want to kill the last Time Lord. These Yerfillagans are really something else.

Martha and I were told to wait outside. The king was in the middle of an important meeting. They made it sound like we weren't important at all. Martha started to nervously play with her cloths and hair. “You don't have to worry Martha. I have a plan.” “Really you do?” Martha looked surprised and happy. “Well, I'm working on it.” I looked around searching for a way out. “You don't have a plan, do you? Let me guess you never had a plan do begin with.” “That's not true that's all part of my plan.” Martha just kept glaring at me. “Okay maybe not everything. But now we know where Cordot is and we get to see her isn't that good?” “It would be better if they won't kill us afterwards.”

I unconsciously raised my voice. “I won't let that happen. Nobody will ever have to die when I'm around!” Martha was surprised and slightly shocked. “So what's the plan, Doctor?” “I'm glad you asked. First of all we have to talk to the king. He might make an exception and lets us live. I hope he's as understanding as the rumours say. He let Cordot live despise the fact that she knew Time Lords and maybe traveled together with them.” “So our only hope is the understanding of the king who wants us dead? Sounds promising.” Marthas sarcasm was on it's peak again.


Cordots PoV:
The kings hall was as pompously and extravagant as ever. I really hated this place it was so clean, so rich looking, so extremely not my taste. However, the guards forced me to bow in front of the king. “Ah Cordot long time no see. 50 years I guess.” “50 years and your place looks as tiring as always. Honestly how can you survive all this sparkling and ass kissing?” I felt hating glares from all sides coming from advisors and heard some light giggles from some guards behind me, which made me smile. “Cordot, you never learn do you? Your attitude isn't the best, it makes everything worse.”

He made a waving hand gesture and all servants, guards and some advisors left the hall. After another, more demanding gesture, and an intense glare the others also left. “Now it's only you and me. Are you sure it was a good idea. This would be the perfect opportunity to kill you.” The king rose and walked down his throne. “We both know very well that you won't do that. You are clever and intelligent and you can believe me when I say that I want to help you.” “Oh, so you want to help me. How? I'm listening.” I crossed my arms and waited for his explanation.

The king sighted. “Cordot, you might have not noticed but I managed to change some laws. By the way where have you been? It was really hard to find you.” “Far away from you and your mob. And let me guess you invented the law that forbids playing outside ore something like that.” He shook is head in despair. “No, I changed the race laws! Now the contact with other species doesn't have to be the death penalty. Well, it depends on the contact. But saving a Time Lords life might kill you. You knew that didn't you?”

I shrugged. “Who knows. I might have known that or not. That doesn't matter anymore. I did what I thought was right and I would do the exact same thing over and over again. This we-hate-every-other-species-policy is pure rubbish. You know that, and jet you didn't change anything. I kept quiet about everything because I thought you would reform that way of thinking. But I was wrong. You are as ignorant as every other Yerfillagan.!” “I am... I am not like them! If I were like them you would be dead by now. I am the one who kept you alive. It was me who forbid the killing. I changed the race laws and I will continue changing them until everybody respects other species. But all of this can't be done within some decades. These things need time. Yerfillagans need time to adapt to these changes. I can't force it on them. But I can introduce them slowly and carefully to other friendly species. And that's what I did all these past years. Some foreigners already live in the palace and in the central city. But you decided to hide in some little village and didn't even try to see what was happening around you!”

“Oh I'm sorry but I think you forgot that someone banned me, not only from the central city, no this someone banned me from every big city. No, wait that someone was you wasn't it? So who should I have known these things?” “And since when do you follow rules and laws. How should I have known that you would really do that?” The king turned around and walked up to his throne. I wanted to throw some good and sarcastic arguments at him when he shouted. “Bring my other guests in!” Other guests? Who could that be? No, don't tell me this Doctor guy came back. I turned around and waited for the door to open.


Doctors PoV:
The door opened and some guards and advisors came out, whispering in confusion. I couldn't understand much but I the king must have ordered the out. He now was alone with some prisoner. That prisoner could be Cordot. But why would the king want to be alone with her? She was a criminal set on death penalty, maybe this was her last wish. No according to what Martha said, Cordot wasn't this type of a respecting-the-king-Yerfillagan. The guards and advisors tried to keep their voices down. They wanted to eavesdrop. That was no nice behaviour for guards and advisors. The conversation within the kings hall grew louder and louder. They must be shouting at each other.  Suddenly it was quiet and we heard the king shout. “Bring my other guests in!” Finally, I would meet the king of Yerfillag. The guards led us to the door. They opened the door. I smiled at Martha and walked into the hall.


(I have a question for you. I need some enemies, would you like real ones, like Daleks, Cyberman or others, or should I try to create my own "aliens"?)
